Carrara Potholder & Mitt - Knit Pattern Only

DESCRIPTION
My inspiration for this pattern came from the grey and white marble found in the area surrounding Carrara, Italy. The way the two yarn colors weave together mimics the striations in the unique marble that you find only in Carrara. Whether you are cooking a traditional Italian dish from Carrara like Tordelli alla Carrarina, a recipe your mother used to make you, or just baking a good batch of cookies, this mitt and potholder set is perfect for it all. Modern and simplistic, these accessories are the perfect addition to your kitchen and will be your favorites in no time!

SKILLS
This includes a beginner and an advanced beginner level knitting pattern. The potholder and mitt are knit flat and seamed together at the end. The techniques involved are knit, purl, sl1p, sl1k, k2tog, ssk, yo, ktbl, and holding two strands together. All Frosia Knits patterns are written in standard US terms.

You will need 2 skeins of Lily Sugar ‘n Cream Super Size Yarn - Medium Weight (100% Cotton). Each skein is 200 yds (183 m) (sample was knit with overcast and ecru). You will need about 168 yds (d154 m) to complete one potholder and about 103 yds (94 m) to complete one mitt. You can easily substitute any medium weight 100% cotton yarn, just make sure to check your gauge.
